Yuigahama Yui stopped, looked hesitant, and muttered to herself.
"Would it be a bit strange to dress up...?"
“That’s not strange at all.”
"Eh?"
Yuigahama Yui was startled when she heard the sound behind her. After turning her head to see clearly, she stroked her chest and said unhappily.
"Really? Why did you run out by yourself?"
Kiyohime swung her snake tail and looked at Yuigahama Yui with a look of disappointment.
"You, don't you understand your problem?"
"Always looking back and forth, hesitating, thinking too much and taking too little action, suppressing my inner self."
"Your obsession was suppressed too much, so I was born. I don't think you understand at all."
Yuigahama Yui was stunned for a moment and hesitated.
"But..."
"No buts."
Qingji waved her hand, interrupting Yuigahama Yui's words and said with a smile.
"Since you brought such beautiful clothes, wouldn't it be a waste if you don't wear them once? And the earrings, put them on quickly, and don't forget the lipstick, hurry up, you don't want Ye Xing to wait too long and make him have a bad impression of you, right? Sprint!"
Under Kiyohime's persuasion, Yuigahama Yui reluctantly changed into a very mature outfit: a white sleeveless top with a black mid-length skirt underneath, and small, delicate gold earrings.
"Will this... look good?"
Yuigahama Yui looked at herself in the mirror, seeming a little overwhelmed.
"Very, very good."
Qingji nodded with satisfaction, and her figure disappeared into the air, leaving only one sentence before leaving.
"go quickly."
......
At the same time, in another room on the same floor.
Kitagawa Umi sat cross-legged on the bed, holding up her long light blonde hair which was dyed pink at the ends, and carefully counted the small accessories in front of her while speaking to Kawasaki Saki.
"I told you, this morning when I went to Akihabara with Yexing..."
"Please, just be quiet for a while."
Saki Kawasaki looked helpless, held her forehead and sighed.
"Since you came to me an hour ago, I've said it at least five times. I understand that Ye Xing's concept of cosplay resonates with you, right?"
"Yeah, I didn't expect that he would be so interested in cosplay that he could even remember a sentence I said so long ago."
Saki Kawasaki took a look at Kitagawa Umi, who had fair skin, delicate face and curvy figure, and subconsciously wanted to say something.
Are you sure that Yexing is interested in cosplay, not you?

Of course, Saki Kawasaki didn't say what was in her mind.
Looking at Kitagawa Umi's current appearance, her impression of Yohoshi is still that of a simple friend in the same club.
Saki Kawasaki thought that if she said something that caused the other party to suddenly come to his senses and join the fight, wouldn't that be adding a competitor to herself out of thin air?
No need.
"Speak."
Saki Kawasaki asked curiously as she used needle and thread to sew some small accessories onto the long black coat.
"After all, 'Mask' isn't a legal person. Is it really okay to imitate his dress and appearance in public?"
"Okay, okay."
Kitagawa Umi waved his hand and smiled.
"I checked before, and there are participants who cosplay as 'Masked Man' at many events. As long as they don't put up banners or openly support 'Masked Man', no one will care."
Saki Kawasaki nodded without comment, thinking that this was true.
The Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department's attitude towards the "mask" is to neither admit nor deny it, pretending that the incident never happened.
Among the people in Sakura Province, there are more voices of support for this mysterious figure.
In addition, the most famous thing about "Mask" was that he intervened in the investigation of the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department during a live TV broadcast and launched a fierce attack on the Sunny Doll Killer himself, but he did not kill anyone in front of the camera.
Overall, it will not cause any negative public opinion.
"But 'Mask' is really cool, don't you think?"
Hearing this question from Kitagawa Umi, Saki Kawasaki, who knew the truth, couldn't help but blush and replied without comment.
"Yes...quite handsome."
"Looking at the figure of the Mask, he should be a man, but I can't say for sure. There is a chance that he is a woman, but I still like Shizuku more."
Kitagawa Umi said casually, then looked at Kawasaki Saki and smiled.
"Tomorrow I will wear the costume you made for me, Saki, and appear at the event. I will definitely amaze everyone and become the most authentic cosplayer!"
Saki Kawasaki glanced at the black coat in her hand, as if she had thought of something, and said without comment.
"It's unlikely that you'll get first place, but you still have hope if you get second place."
"Ok?"
Kitagawa Umi was stunned for a moment, but when she noticed Kawasaki Saki's gaze, she reacted and suddenly realized.
"Oh, you said Ye Xing would be the most authentic one? Then I can be the second, that's fine."
Saki Kawasaki thought that no matter how well the cosplayers at tomorrow's event resembled Ye Xing, they probably wouldn't be able to steal the limelight from her.
After all, he starred in the film himself.
..........
Later, outside a street in a busy area of Tokyo.
"Wait for a long time?"
Hearing the voice behind her, Yuigahama Yui quickly turned around, and seeing Yexing standing there, she shook her head and smiled slightly embarrassedly.
"No, I just arrived."
"Okay, let's go."
Yuigahama Yui followed Yoshihoshi and put her hair up.
She has always been very popular and can be considered the strongest diplomat in Chaoliang Society. This is the first time in her life that she feels like this.
I don’t know what topic to start with or what to say.
"Um, Yexing, I..."
Just when Yuigahama Yui was about to find a topic to talk about, she felt a gentle touch on her palm.
She looked down and found that Yexing had held her hand.
"If you don't know what to talk about, it's fine to just walk together quietly."
Hearing what Yexing said, Yuigahama Yui's eyes became a little lonely. She forced a smile and used a pretentious cheerful tone to hide her emotions.
"But if you just walk around without talking, it would be boring to stay with someone like me..."
"Yui."
Ye Xing suddenly stopped, turned sideways, and looked directly into Yuigahama Yui's eyes, still with a smile on her face, but without that frivolous and joking tone. Instead, she spoke very seriously.
"I will never be bored when I'm with you."
Yuigahama Yui was looked at like this by Yohoshi, and her face instantly turned red when she heard the other party's straightforward words.
She subconsciously wanted to lower her head to avoid Ye Xing's gaze.
But after recalling Qingji's words, which were the true thoughts in her heart that she was not aware of, Yuigahama Yui mustered up the courage, looked at Yexing's face, her eyes flickering, and murmured.
"Can someone as ordinary as me...really stay with you, with everyone else?"
"Mediocre?"
Yexing looked down at a certain part of Yuigahama Yui and said thoughtfully.
“I think this is unfair.”
"you..."
Yuigahama Yui was feeling a little lost just now, but Ye Xing's sudden abstract words made her feel shy and want to laugh, and she almost couldn't hold it back.
She patted Ye Xing's shoulder lightly, feeling both embarrassed and angry.
"I'm serious with you."
"Well."
Yexing made a joke just to cheer up Yuigahama Yui.
He restrained his smile, bent down slightly, and moved closer to Yuigahama Yui's face. The distance between them was so close that they could feel each other's breathing.
"I recognize you, Futaba recognizes you, Miko recognizes you, Mai recognizes you, Yasha, Haruna, Saki, Menma, they all recognize you."
Having said that, Ye Xing paused for a moment, then slowly spoke.
"In fact, there has always been only one person in the Super Quantity Society who doesn't recognize you."
"You are the one."
Hearing these words, Yuigahama Yui felt as if a huge rock that had been floating in the air for a long time had finally fallen to the ground.
Yes.
All along, I had been worrying unnecessarily, thinking that an ordinary girl like me, who had neither the courage of Miko, nor the brains of Futaba, nor the fame of Sakurajima Mai, would be unable to walk side by side with this group of geniuses.
In fact, no member of the Super Society has such an idea.
"As ordinary as I am..."
Before Yuigahama Yui could finish her muttering, Ye Xing interrupted her.
"I am going to correct a misunderstanding of yours."
"What misunderstanding?"
Yexing straightened up, and with his other hand, he gently patted Yuigahama Yui's head and smiled.
"In my eyes, you are not an ordinary girl."
"You are the Supernatural Company and my most important ambassador, the psychic codenamed Dango, Yuigahama Yui."
"So, from now on, just stay with me and everyone else as a matter of course."
After hearing these words, Yuigahama Yui was stunned at first, at a loss. After a few seconds, she suddenly couldn't help laughing out loud. She raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, her face showing joy and emotion.
"What is this, a marriage proposal?"
Ye Xing replied casually.
"It's psychological counseling. Only you can let me do this kind of thing."
Yuigahama Yui tilted her head slightly, looking very playful.
“Can you also provide psychological counseling?”
"No, I tutor myself every day."
"Then don't tutor me anymore. I'm afraid I'll become as abstract as you."
After saying this, Yuigahama Yui took Yexing's right hand on the left shoulder, gently bumped into the other person, and said with a slightly red face.
